About Rhyl Radio

Rhyl Radio is proud to be the voice of Rhyl — celebrating its people, promoting its community events, and shining a spotlight on the groups, causes and characters that make this coastal town truly special.

Launched to serve as a hub for everything happening in and around Rhyl, Rhyl Radio is the newest and most exciting addition to the North Wales media landscape. It’s quickly becoming the go-to destination for local news, community-driven features, uplifting music and real voices from the town itself. Whether you’re tuning in at work, at home, or on the go, the station is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — accessible via smart speakers, online streaming, and social media platforms.

At the core of the station’s success is its unwavering focus on local identity and community connection. Unlike many commercial stations that broadcast generic content, Rhyl Radio is built on the values of local pride, accessibility, and celebration of the town’s diverse and vibrant culture.

Craig Kennealey, Director of Programming at Rhyl Radio, shares the heart of the station’s mission:

“We’re here to champion Rhyl. This station exists to lift up the voices of local people, promote what good is going on in the town, and support the fantastic groups that give Rhyl its character. We’re not just on the air — we’re in the heart of the community.”

The station’s content reflects the spirit of Rhyl itself: diverse, welcoming, and proudly Welsh. Programming includes a rich blend of local news, live interviews with local guests, updates on events and activities, and music that spans the decades — from 60s classics to today’s biggest hits. Specialised shows cover everything from community affairs to unsigned music, and Rhyl Radio actively works with local schools, charities and organisations to ensure everyone has a platform.

Whether it’s coverage of a charity fun run, highlights from the Pavilion Theatre, shout-outs to community groups, or celebrating everyday heroes doing extraordinary things — Rhyl Radio is where Rhyl gets heard.

The station is designed to be interactive and inclusive. Listeners can request songs, send in shout-outs, and even contribute content via the station’s website or social media channels. It’s not just a station you listen to — it’s one you can take part in.

Three Mission Targets That Make Rhyl Radio Unique:

1. Champion Rhyl – Rhyl Radio is committed to being a platform for the town’s people, causes, businesses and culture. From charity campaigns and grassroots clubs to charity fun days and town centre community events, we shine a spotlight on what makes Rhyl great.

2. Connect Generations – With a music mix that appeals across age groups, Rhyl Radio bridges generations. Whether you grew up dancing to 80s pop or love today’s chart-toppers, there’s something for everyone — creating shared moments and memories.

3. Spotlight Local Stars – We support home-grown talent by featuring local musicians, young storytellers, creative presenters, and emerging artists. Rhyl Radio believes in giving real talent real airtime.

As Rhyl continues to evolve, so too does its radio station. Rhyl Radio is more than just background noise — it’s a community companion, a promoter of positivity, and a reflection of the town’s energy and pride.

Rhyl Radio also plays a vital role in supporting local businesses and the town’s economy. Through affordable advertising packages and promotional campaigns, the station gives independent traders, start-ups, and long-established shops the exposure they need to thrive. By encouraging listeners to shop local and highlighting positive stories from Rhyl’s high street and market scene, the station helps build a stronger, more connected local economy — one broadcast at a time.

Whether you’re a lifelong resident, a newcomer, or someone who simply loves the charm of this North Wales seaside town — Rhyl Radio is your station. Tune in, get involved, and help us keep Rhyl at the heart of everything we do
